The RG3 Sucks - Knee Jerk Reaction Thread

That and EVERYONE who understands QB mechanics for a living says RG3 is a mess. People who do this stuff for a living say this, not one dissenting voice.

Maybe Dalton worked harder at it, maybe Dalton is smarter, maybe Dalton doesn't have a swollen head and think he already knows everything. I can't say. What I can say is that, when a play calls for a 3 step drop and you drop 5 steps or one step and start hoping around, that is not a coaching problem that is a QB problem. When a WR is open and the QB is staring down the wrong receiver, then goes for the check down, thats a QB problem. Coaching doesn't fix that.

And once again you ignored what I said in order to turn your post into an opportunity to bash Griffin. I'm not saying that Robert doesn't have work to do. However, if a play isn't understood by the QB and he takes the wrong drop, that seems, at least a little bit like a coaching problem.

I have a question: Do you believe the TEAM looked ready to play Sunday? If not, why is that? I blame the coach when, coming off a bye, or any time really, but especially coming off a bye, a team look as bad as the Skins did on Sunday. Everyone looked awful, Griffin included. No one is arguing any different.

EDIT: Another note, if Griffin's not getting better, how is that not a coach's failing? How is it not his fault in any way? How is not Gruden or McVay's fault that Cousins also looked horrible?
